 Do you know of any racers who use synthetic oil?  Is there a compelling (or 
even somewhat convincing) reason to use or NOT to use synthetic oils in our 
applications?
 I figger racing is as close as I'll get to my agenda ... Jim S.

I was not very clear about that. Redline is synthetic. The 2 cycle top oil as 
well.


If you are running a different top oil from that in the sump I would use 
synthetic in the sump to get the higher film strength. If you run the stock 
metering pump, I would use a straight weight nonsynthetic racing oil in the sump for 
a bit cleaner burning. 

Richard Sohns gizmo is ideal for this situation. A full synthetic in the sump 
and a 2 cycle oil in a small bottle on the fire wall.
